I’m a therapist who works with thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who may look “put together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or the pressure to keep it all together. Together, we’ll create space to slow down, increase awareness, and better understand what’s going on beneath the surface.

What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?

I always had a desire to understand people and didn't realize there was a profession centered around my curiosity until college. I was also very intrigued with trying to understand my emotions growing up and because I struggled, I developed a desire to help others through their life challenges. I started providing support services to families and volunteers through a mentoring agency, which later led to interning at a psychiatric outpatient facility, to working with foster children providing therapy and to also growing my private practice here with Alma working with adults and children.

What should someone know about working with you?

I believe I am relatable and open to the sharing of myself with the understanding and expectation that you will be entrusting your vulnerabilities with me in session. I will challenge your thoughts, your patterns and your assumptions, and I give homework routinely as an extension of our time together to keep you active and engaged until we meet again.

How do you continue learning and building new skills?

I am committed to being a life-long learner. I take courses and trainings annually, listen to and learn from seasoned clinicians and try to stay afloat of new groundbreaking research related to treatments and techniques surrounding mental health.

"Success for me, is helping others create the wellness they desire."

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying the weight of painful past experiences, or noticing patterns you want to change. Perhaps you’re constantly overthinking, questioning yourself, or feeling unsure of yourself in your relationships and daily life.

I believe meaningful therapy starts with feeling truly seen and understood without judgment. In our time together, you can expect warmth, curiosity, and genuine respect. Together, we’ll work to better understand what you’re experiencing and what might help create lasting change.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Before opening my private practice in 2021, I worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings with clients across the lifespan, from children to older adults.

Today, I work with adults mainly experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, as well as those navigating challenges related to relationships, identity, and major life transitions.

Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me doing yoga, or attempting to garden with my dog Ralph by my side.

Empowering Growth Through Compassionate, Personalized Therapy



Welcome to Free Your Mind Counseling, where healing meets authenticity. My practice is founded on the belief that every individual deserves a safe and supportive space to heal, grow, and thrive. I provide personalized, culturally responsive therapy for trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions—grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration.


I specialize in existential, eclectic, and integrative therapies, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Experiential frameworks. This flexible, holistic approach allows me to meet clients where they are—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.


My academic foundation includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Juvenile Justice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and bring over a decade of experience in the criminal justice system, substance use recovery programs, and diverse mental health settings.


I am also completing my Doctoral degree at Houston Christian University in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, majoring in Executive Mental Health and Human Services—a reflection of my commitment to advancing mental health leadership and community impact.


My philosophy centers on helping clients discover purpose, balance, and self-acceptance through integrative, trauma-informed care. I believe in engaging deeply—not just listening, but empowering transformation. My mission is to create a nonjudgmental space where healing isn’t just possible—it’s expected.
